Dr. O, Brave's left cheek is hot, but there is either no swelling or so minimal I can't see it. It is also warm by his TMJ, but his jaw is hot. My vet is working the Tevis Cup this weekend, so there is no chance to even be able to speak with him until at least Tuesday if I'm lucky.

I'm thinking to bute him (he does have warm thighs as well, so what the heck) and see what happens. I'll also try to ice it.

If there's anything different I should do, please let me know. Thanks!

Edited because it's his cheek, checked your illustrations :-) He's also eating JUST fine :-)

Aileen, just feeling warmth there with no other symptoms should not require treatment.
